LeBron, Paul George and more league-shaping free agency madness

The madness is upon us. The landscape of the league is about to shift in ways that may cause the Warriors to look up from their phones and nod briefly in acknowledgement. Let's bounce around the major questions.

Where will LeBron go?

Reporting from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ramona Shelburne, and Brian Windhorst over the last 48 hours suggests some urgency inside the Lakers to trade for Kawhi Leonard ahead of free agency as a means of cinching LeBron. The Lakers stared down a similar situation a year ago with Paul George, opted to sit tight, and must feel nerves reading chatter -- chatter I'd consider at least fairly credible -- that George is leaning toward staying in Oklahoma City.
